About EMMENI
We are Monty & Imke
We've teamed up to create activity-based retreats that we genuinely want to experience ourselves: authentic escapes with feel-good factor in carefully selected locations that combine fitness with cultural immersion and genuine connection - without the wellness industry pretensions.
Our
Story
A Shared Vision
The idea for EMMENI Retreats came from a simple conversation during training: What makes a good fitness experience?
True wellness happens when movement meets joy and adventure, in places where you feel genuinely welcomed rather than intimidated. Our approach is simple: Explore, Move, Enjoy.
We handpick destinations that offer natural beauty and unique local experiences, design fitness programmes that energise rather than exhaust, and create an atmosphere where you feel at home in your body whilst connecting with others.

What We Love About Working Together
Pilates Lead Instructor
Monty
"Monty has this incredible ability to push you just to your edge without ever making you feel defeated. She reads people instantly – somehow knowing exactly when to encourage, when to ease up, and when to throw in that perfectly timed joke that has everyone laughing mid-plank. Her background spans fitness and medical healthcare, but what makes her special is that she throws out the rule book and works with what your body can actually do today. You leave her sessions feeling accomplished, never broken."
Retreat Coordinator
Imke
"With her long-term background in event organising, Imke is brilliant at building communities, both professionally and privately. Her home is constantly buzzing with friends from every continent and every generation. What I love about working with Imke is that whilst every practical detail is carefully thought through in advance, it never feels orchestrated because everything comes from genuine warmth. With her, people feel looked after without ever feeling managed."
